I really liked the seat floor work, and generally thought it was a good workout. I was a little disappointed that my HR didn't stay up for any prolonged period, but I did sweat a bit which I liked. Def. not as fast/hard/fun as P57, but still very good. I def. feel the seat section was the best part.
Any details to share regarding the seat work? I'm always looking for more seat work. thanks!

Update - I caved! the coupon sent me over the edge. Shipping was $7.95 - ouch! So with the coupon it was almost like FS....

Cheryl, we're going to NYC on Friday.

Sue, the seat work was all on the floor--pretzel, hairpin (as P57 calls it--lying on the floor in an L-shape, lifting the upper leg) and some all-fours with a weight behind your knee. It was a great set. The only bummer about the floor work is you don't get your HR up like you do in standing seat.

Nuggie, Now I know what a play ground ball is. I wonder, How come I never had a play ground ball as a kid. ??? No wonder I didn't understand. People kept saying playground and I had no clue. I just knew about sports balls.

this has to be, no.. this is the strongest ball I've ever had in a system. This is must be going to hurt.

and yes, it finally came today Feels funny. I get all excited knowing something is coming and then when it gets here, I'm like.. okay. finally. but.. that's okay.I will definitely do this today.. I'll just use my Fitball..

I'm sorry I read your post wrong Nuggie. I thought you were leaving after your children got up from their nap at 6PM yesterday... Then I kept seeing you post and i'm saying, isn't she going away. ??? how come she's style posting if she's going on the road in 15 minutes lol

Cheryl, haha, no, thankfully I have a couple more days to prepare before the road trip! We're going to pack all our meals so we don't have to stop, lots of toys and diversions for the kids, etc. It's a lot of work to get to NYC!

As for the ball/pump issues, I heard back from Kristen at BP. She said it came to them without a pump, so she's going to write up a disclaimer that the ball does not come with a pump.

That's nice. Nice that they are communicating. I hate when a company gets too big they don't take the time to listen.

So will you be there over Christmas holiday next Tuesday?

Which one did you do first, or did you get yours yet? I'm about to preview Signature Sculpt...

Yes, we're staying for Christmas. I did Amped Up this morning. I'd love to do Signature Sculpt tomorrow, but I think I should probably take it easy so I'm fresh for P57 on Friday.

Let us know what you think of SS!

Yeah, the coupon sent me over the edge also. I don't know what I'm thinking, I haven't been doing barre lately and lord knows I'm in no position to be buying more DVDs right now. Here's hoping that I love it at least.

Love love

I just finished and there is no dread. What makes me totally happy is there are no darn tricep dips and no endless pushups and no mountain climbers. All the things I dislike are not here.

The camera angles are on point. Great outfits. Everyone is pleasant. No one screaming.

The seat work, oh ya,had my husband touch my butt to show him it was working. Anyone doing this is going to have a penny bouncing butt for sure.

Ab work.Just enough. The ball. I think it does help having a firmer ball. When I do the ab work though on some I'm going to use my less tough ball. On the standing seat work, I'll use their ball.

I'm well pleased now that it's done. The set, the lighting. the cuing. spot on for me.

Wow, with $7.95 shipping, I am safe for now. I have too many barre virgins to be spending that kind of money on this set.
